Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 18, 1919.

Application filed February 17, 1919. Serial No. 277,589.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILFRID G. CHAUssn, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PaintersTorches, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention aims to furnish a painters or glaziers torch with a novelflame bafiiing attachment which will disseminate the flame, reduce it toa multiplicity of small jets and permit of the torch being used in theusual manner without danger of a surface or woodwork being unduly burneddur ing the removal of paint, varnish or other matter.

My invention further aims to provide a simple, durable and inexpensiveburner head that is applicable to various types of torches or paintremoving burners, and the mechanical construction entering into thedevice will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawing, wherehr- Figure 1 is a sideelevation of conventional form of painters torch having the burnerthereof provided with a device in accordance with my invention, and

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of a perforated head adapted to form part ofthe device.

In the drawing, the reference numeral 1 denotes a conventional form oftorch having a burner 2 and detachably mounted 011 the outer end of theburner by a set screw 3 or other fastening means is a semi-sphericalcasing 4 having a perforated head 5. The head 5 may be suitablyconnected to the front edges of the casing 4 and said head has a centralopening 6 and a series of (ircumferentially disposed openings 7.

Connected to the head 5 by a screw 8 or other fastening means extendingthrough the opening 6 is the stem 9 of a conical shaped deflector 10,said conical shaped deflector being supported in the axis of the burner2 and the casing 4 with its apex confronting the open end of the burner2 so as to spread a flame emitted thereby. The inclined walls of thedeflector 10 will direct the flame outwardly against the perforated head5 and the flame will enter the openings The head 11 is circular inelevation and has rounded edges 13 which will positively prevent flamejets from creeping over the edges of the head 11 and attacking a surfacein proximity to said head. The flames emitted by the openings 7 of thehead 5 are of sufficient intensity to heat the head 11 so that when saidhead is held on or contiguous to a surface the finish of said surfacecan be heated and removed.

It is thought that the utility of my device will be apparent withoutfurther description, and While in the drawing there is illustrated apreferred embodiment of the same, it is to be understood that thestructural elements are susceptible to such variations and modificationsas fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is;

1. The combination of a burner, a casing carried thereby, a perforatedhead carried by said casing, a flame deflector centrally supported bysaid perforated head within said casing, and an imperforate headsupported in front of the perforated head and in spaced parallelrelation thereto.

2. The combination of a burner, a casing carried thereby, a perforatedhead carried by said casing, a flame deflector centrally supported bysaid perforated head within said casing, and an imperforate headsupported in spaced relation to said perforated head and by the samefastening means em ployed for holding the deflector.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
